Biography Elisabeth Geyer-Aharp

The following recollections were submitted by W. Busch:

Between 1966 and 1970 I lived in Darmstadt, Germany as a engineering student and shared the house court with Elisabeth. She lived in an medium brick stone 2 level house surrounded by an enormous garden and inside the walls were covered entirely by paintings by her and her friends from Prague, her hometown.

She had fled from the Russian invasion and settled at Rosenhoehe, the artists main colony in Darmstadt( Jugendstil center), right at the edge of the colony.

Her original name, as she told me, was different and became Geyer through a marriage. But as Geyer was to common, she added a revers PRAHA (Aharp) for marketing reasons.
